Thank you for your help your characters seem to be reproduced correctly here
as well. I suspect that this is combined html document problem then, as the
snippit below shows the problem is in the quoted-printable section....

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
We want to stay in touch =E2=80=93 action needed
snip...

this is displayed as:
We want to stay in touch ق€“ action needed
Not sure how quoted-printable is handled in kmail. Maybe the problem is in
the sending software but this is happening on at least 2 different email
sources.
Reading the email with Thunderbird does not show the problem.
